Instant Pot Goulash (Hungarian)
Description
Instant Pot Goulash combines bite-sized stewing beef with traditional Hungarian seasonings such as Hungarian paprika and caraway seeds. The beef is browned for flavor, then sautéed with onions, bell peppers, and garlic before adding tomatoes, red wine, and beef stock. The almond flour paste acts as a gluten-free thickener, blending smoothly during pressure cooking.
The pressure cooker reduces cooking time while developing the rich, savory sauce that coats tender chunks of beef and softened vegetables. The paprika and caraway seed impart a recognizable, deep earthy warmth.
This stew suits anyone seeking a filling dish with nuanced spice and tender meat, perfect for cooler days. It can be served with simple sides such as bread or mashed potatoes.
Cookers should note that cooking times exclude pressurizing and depressurizing. Adjust broth quantity for preferred thickness, and almond flour can be substituted by regular flour if dietary needs allow.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil or calorie-controlled cooking spray, generic cooking oil
- 2 pounds stewing beef cut into bite-sized pieces, 900g
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- 2 bell pepper deseeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 2 tablespoons Hungarian paprika
- 2 cups beef stock 500ml
- 1 cup tomatoes finely sieved
- 3 tablespoons red wine
- 2 tablespoons almond flour made into a paste with 1 tablespoon of water
- salt to taste
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Select sauté, heat half the oil in Instant Pot insert and quickly brown the beef in batches, remove from insert and set aside.
- Add remaining oil and sauté the onion and peppers until soft (about 5 minutes), switch off and quickly stir in the garlic, followed by the caraway seed and paprika.
- Add the beef stock and thoroughly deglaze the pot.
- Add in the rest of the ingredients, cover the pot, seal, select the stew setting and set the time to 25 minutes.
- Allow for an NPR of 10 mins and then perform a QPR.
Notes
- Use calorie-controlled cooking spray instead of oil for a lower point count.
- Do not overbrown beef to maintain tenderness.
- Add extra paprika for a stronger flavor boost if desired.
- Adjust broth to thin the stew, adding 1 to 1.5 cups as needed.
- Substitute almond flour with regular flour if no dietary restrictions.
- Cooking times do not include Instant Pot pressurizing or depressurizing phases.
- In American style, avoid stirring after adding tomatoes and pasta sauce to prevent burn notices.
